[Soul of Chess] Xia Lei

Only after he woke up did he realize that there was already a lot of trouble in Beijing because of his suicide by throwing himself into the river.Those people who have been taught by him do not believe that he would cheat for the official position of an imperial guide, let alone that he threw himself into the river because of his cheating and exposure, leaving him shameless in the world.During that time, this story was spread everywhere in restaurants, tea sheds, and the storyteller's office. Questions about why he committed suicide, whether he committed suicide, whether he was a fake, and who framed him were widely circulated, and because of He Maoming's position calculation and Prince Jinwei's rescue on a rainy night made the whole incident even more mysterious.

It wasn't until His Majesty the Emperor heard about it that things really got serious.

The Fujiwara family is connected with each other, and almost half of the officials in the court have this surname.As the sixth son of the head of the family, Fujiwara Sato was famous for his knowledge and talent in Go since he was a child. Among the nobles, he made good friends with him, and there were not a few people who were instructed by him. This time he heard that he threw himself into the river. They all stood aside with the same hatred and blamed Su Yazuru, who was promoted to the imperial guide because of this incident.

In the entire Heian capital, or the entire country, no clan that can compete with the Fujiwara clan has yet appeared.

Mr. Fujiwara was furious because of this incident, and ordered a thorough investigation of the incident.Originally, it was just a simple check of cheating in a game of chess, but unexpectedly, the investigation became deeper and deeper. In addition to involving the secret confrontation between the Fujiwara and Sumi families, it also involved the current situation of silos in Yin and Yang.The officials in charge of the case knew something about what would be revealed after further investigation, but they would rather not know it, and they were terrified all day long.

There was never a shortage of smart people in the imperial court, and the go cheating incident ended here. Only a few people related to the cheating in the game were executed, and the rest of the things naturally had to be contested in secret.

Fujiwara Zuowei was extremely tired of these Chao Gang's affairs on weekdays, even though he heard about it, he didn't want to ask any more.And because he was grateful for He Maoming's life-saving grace, when He Maoming asked him for the fan pendant, he gave the fan pendant to him without thinking.

Until today, he had never had any doubts about the matter.

Hikaru Konoe turned a deaf ear to Saori Fujiwara's concerned inquiries, but kept stroking the pattern on the folding fan, muttering to himself: "Five days ago... five days ago..."

"Ah Guang?" Looking at him like this, Sawei Fujiwara couldn't feel at ease. "How could Your Highness He Mao hurt you... Is there a misunderstanding?"

How He Maoming treats Jin Weiguang, not to mention him, the whole imperial city may be able to see it.These two people are inseparable, where one is present, the other must also be there. He Maoming usually lives in seclusion and does not easily accept petitions from others.Most of those tales of catching monsters and exorcising ghosts, which are hailed as legends by the people, were petitions received by Guang Wei, and they would find dangers in the middle of the matter, and He Maoming had to come out to clean up the mess for him whether he wanted to or not.

As time went by, there was an unwritten rule among the nobles: If you want to ask His Highness He Mao to help with something, you must first ask Mr. Konoe to go to the house for a briefing.

Konoe Hikaru's carefree temperament is easy to attract people's envy, but if He Maoming will turn against him one day, it is absolutely impossible.

So, what happened?

Konoe Hikaru never told Fujiwara Saori what happened that day.

What Fujiwara Sawei could know was the rapidly estranged relationship between Konoe Hikaru and He Moming since that day, and he never saw the two of them interacting again.

As long as he mentioned something about He Maoming, or even something related to Yin Yang, Konoe would lower his face, with strong anger and deep sadness in his cold expression.

That face should be always full of sunshine, but now it is full of sadness and haze from time to time. Fujiwara Sawei sees it in his eyes and feels pain in his heart.

It's not that he hasn't asked, from straightforward inquiries to imperceptible insinuations, but Konoe Hikari just kept his mouth shut, no matter how much Fujiwara asked him, he didn't answer.

Fortunately, the wound on his shoulder healed within a few days, without even a scar, which made Fujiwara somewhat relieved.As for what happened between the two of them, after many inquiries to no avail, they let it go. I thought it was just a bit of loyalty between teenagers. He Maoming possessed supernatural powers and powerful mana. It is also possible that it is not good to hurt Ah Guang.

If he could have predicted the future situation that day, perhaps he would not have drawn conclusions so hastily. If he had made things clear earlier, perhaps so many sad things would not have happened.

It's a pity that there are never ifs in this world.

The relationship between Konoe Hikaru and He Maoming became worse and worse, and it almost became known to everyone in the palace.And this bad relationship finally ushered in a bad result one night.

Konoe, who was in charge of night patrol in the palace, went to the West Palace area, and was injured by the wraith of a court lady. This has never happened before.

Konoe Hikaru has strong martial arts skills and a courageous heart that ordinary people cannot match. In addition, the silver dragon long knife in his hand, even without the help of an onmyoji, he can easily defeat some monsters with low cultivation.

Even in the face of monsters with more than a hundred years of cultivation, with that knife, no one can get close.

No one expected that the Imperial Sword, which He Maoming poured spiritual power and blessings into, would be helpless against the soul of a newly deceased court lady.

Regarding the incident of Konoe Kwang's attack, there was a lot of ups and downs, and most of them were wondering that Yushen Dao was defeated by a little maid soul. There is an argument.

And just when Fujiwara Sato was so angry and wanted to go to He Maoming's mansion to ask what happened, He Maoming's next move made him stop again.

According to rumors in the palace, after hearing that Konoe was injured at night, He Maoming accidentally dropped the luminous cup bestowed by the emperor on the spot. Regardless of the ongoing birthday ceremony for the little prince, he hurriedly left without even apologizing. go.

Within an hour, there was news from the West Palace, saying that His Highness He Mao had captured the wraith who made a fuss last night.Without even asking why it made trouble, it forcibly pulled out the hostility from the wraith and sent it to the land of reincarnation.

According to the reply of the maid who was present at the time, His Highness He Mao's face was very ugly, and everyone present was silent and held their breath, trembling.

This matter, which was spread all over the streets and alleys, was said intentionally or unintentionally by Fujiwara Sawai when he went to visit Konoe Hikaru at his residence.

After speaking, he pretended to be drinking tea and picked up the teacup, but out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the person sitting lazily on the couch.

Konoe Hikaru was taken aback for a moment, and then put on an indifferent look.

"Oh."

Fujiwara Zuowei poked his finger on his forehead with hatred: "Oh what! I miss him so much, and my eyes light up when I hear the word He Maoming. Why are you lying at home half dead and recovering from your injuries? Go find him as soon as possible." How nice he is, you can still let him heal your wounds."

Konoe Hikaru turned his head: "What are you going to do with him... I have broken with him."

"If this stalemate continues, maybe it will really break."

Fujiwara Sakumi, who didn't understand at the time and thought that the two of them were simply fighting, said this sentence so slowly. Originally, he just wanted to tease him a little, but he saw the boy clenched his fists in an instant. .

"...It's been broken for a long time. It's not certain where it came from."

At that time, he just thought it was a small episode.

It's just a seasoning added to the boring life of the nobles, that's all.

And it wasn't until Konoe Kwangya broke into the worshiping platform and someone in Yinyang Liao raised the spirit barrier at the same time that he realized the importance of the matter.

That night, he was awakened by a sudden shaking.

"Zuo Wei! Zuo Wei!" Someone called him in a low voice, "Wake up!"

Fujiwara Sawei has been sleeping lightly, so the other party only called him twice in a low voice, and he woke up leisurely from sleep, and woke up completely after seeing Konoe Hikaru covering most of his face.

"Ah Guang?!" He exclaimed in a low voice, "Why are you dressed like this?"

"Don't ask this, anyway, you take your fan pendant and hide it well, don't let Ming find it." Konoe Hikaru took his hand and put something into his hand. "When he comes to ask you about the fan pendant tomorrow, you just pretend you don't know!"

"Ah Guang—!" Fujiwara Sawei took the fan pendant, and went inside without knowing it. "This is--"

"I don't have time to talk to you anymore, I have to hurry back." Konoe Hikaru walked to the window where he rolled in, and checked the situation outside. "Don't tell anyone that I've been to your place, and don't tell anyone about going out!"

"Ah Guang? You——Ah Guang!"

Sawei Fujiwara was confused by his actions, watched Konoe Hikaru jumping out of the window, did not dare to call him loudly, and could only watch the vigorous figure disappear into the night.

The drowsiness was completely gone, so he had no choice but to put on a coat and get up, took a few candlesticks on the table and lit them, and took a closer look at the things in his hand.

What he held in his hand was a copper coin pendant wrapped with wheat ears of red thread. The copper coin was engraved with complicated patterns, which revealed a little mysterious and gloomy under the dim candlelight.

It was the fan pendant he lent to He Maoming more than ten days ago.

When Fujiwara Zuowei was startled by the return of the fan pendant, Konoe Hikari, who sent the pendant, was silently landing on the eaves of the lobby of the Konoe Mansion, carefully checking the situation at home.

Finding that there were no bright lights and crowds of guards, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, returned to his own courtyard without disturbing anyone, and dispatched his personal servant who watched the inner and outer doors for him. Pulling the towel, wearily lifted the curtain and walked in quickly.

Going to the rooftop to steal things is really not a human thing, one barrier after another, almost burned Yuan Shinichi's blood charms all at once, and it took his boss a lot of effort to get rid of those groups of guards who patrolled back and forth .

I don't know what's going on with Yuan Shinichi, but Minghui will notice immediately if he sacrifices the Spirit Elimination Barrier...

Konoe rubbed his wrists and strode towards the side of the couch, he had to take off his coat quickly, Ming would be here in a while, so he had to pretend to be asleep before him...

……Come.

Tonight, the heavy snow that lasted for more than ten days was rarely cleared.

The soft moonlight shines on a person through the window paper, which is peaceful and far away.

Konoe Hikaru stopped, unable to even adjust the expression on his face.

A soft voice sounded in a low voice.

"Light."
